Does anyone use Hulu Plus? I talked my wife into letting us possibly subscribe to it when it comes to the Xbox in a couple months. Is it worth it? We already have Netflix though streaming doesn't have a lot of the content Hulu does and it doesn't have new episodes like Hulu does. So if you use it, what is your opinion of it?

From what I've seen, Netflix is worth the money but Hulu Plus really isn't. It's nice, but you can get most of that content with basic Hulu. While I can't complain about Hulu Plus I don't really see enough extras to justify ten extra dollars per month?

Another alternative you may be interested in is PlayOn. It streams content from any number of websites or podcasts or what have you, including Hulu, to pretty much any kind of gaming device. I'm using it on my PS3 and am fairly happy with it. The price has shot up as of late, but even so a lifetime membership might come in handy more than several months worth of the other.

Hulu Plus is finally on Xbox and I checked it out. Xbox Live members get a free month instead of the usual 7 days which is nice. However, it seems about half the shows they have are Web Only which means you can't watch them on Xbox. And of course most of those shows were the ones I was really interested in watching! So that pretty much defeats the purpose for me. And even after paying the $8 a month, you still have to sit through 15 or 30 second commercials during each commercial break in the show. It wouldn't be so bad if the commercials were unique but they're the same ones you've seen countless times on regular TV. So unfortunately, Hulu Plus just isn't worth it to me. Anyone else try it out yet?
